@AndrewAAGamer I see your point. The fleet is done anyway and this gives it another turn perhaps or allows it to cause more attrition. But if I’m the allies this turn, I probably would just stack 97 and take Greece (assuming both those can be held but it looks on the face of it that they could). I would wait to wipe out the Italian fleet for when I have my air and navy combined in 97 since they can’t go anywhere and can’t do any damage. One thing to consider is that if the Germans hold Yugoslavia (or S France), you might have had more opportunities to save that fleet. Its often not worth it, but those become routes to get german units in the Med or to allow the Germans to build airbases to support the Italian fleet.

@Colonel_Sanders I endorse every word of this assessment. Thanks for writing this. Glad to hear you guys got some cooperative exercise between turns too. I need to take a break from AnA for two weeks as I’m in a job transition but I’ll be back in the saddle by the end of August. Please keep me in your roladex. Either way, I’ll def PM you guys. I run a YouTube channel on axis and allies focused on classic and strategies for that version. I hope to add a series of videos regarding anniversary maybe next year and am looking to stack games in the meantime. hope to play with you guys again soon!
